There are so many people in my life struggling with infertility and miscarriage right now. And if you have read my Struggles with Infertility, Miscarriage and Surprises from God post here, you know I have lived through both. Admittedly, those were some of my darkest days. Here is a prayer that I wrote during that time in my life. I pray that it will bring comfort to those currently struggling with infertility or miscarriage or even surprises.
God, I know you have me on this journey for a reason.
And I'm not going to lie, its hard.
It may be one of the hardest journeys I've been on.
But, I have faith that this journey will be a joyous one.
Amen.

Friday was my Gramps' Birthday and boy, do I ever miss him. After nearly 10 years, the sting of missing him hasn't gone away. I miss the soundof his voice saying, "Golly Geewillikers" or calling me hootenanny or hooter for short. I miss his thick silver hair and the dapper way he looked in his dress coat & hat. I miss the way he chuckled deep inside his belly. I miss pulling up in the yard next to Granny & his house and seeing him descend from his tractor dressed in his Case IH coveralls and watching him limp down the driveway to greet me. A limp left from the Polio that he was able to fight and beat!
My Grandpa was never a war hero. In fact he was an only child that grew up on a family farm which made him unable to serve. But on this Memorial Day my Gramps is and always will be my hero. And Gramps as you would always say as we departed ways, "Be Good."

*Who are you missing today? I would love to here about them. Leave me a comment about them.

Children some times have a difficult time learning to tie their shoes. Here is a tutorial done by our 6 year old in hopes that another child who is having difficulty may understand the steps better if another child is explaining the process to them.

Keyforcash.com is one of the few legitimate data entry jobs that exist. And believe me I have scoured the Internet for work at home data entry jobs. I have worked for them since 2007. Keyforcash.com has been in existence since 2001. They hire at home workers to type images that appear on the screen in their interface once the worker logs into their account. You are able to work as much as you want, whenever you want.

The job pays approximately .30 per 1000 keystrokes. When you have accrued $30 or more in entries Keyforcash.com will mail you a check. In order to be hired you do have to take an evaluation test. This test is to determine your typing speed and accuracy. Scoring well does not automatically mean you will be hired for the position.

I do want to caution my readers that this is not the type of job that you can make a living at. It is another way to have a small stream of income while you are at home with the babes. It would, also, be way to get or help keep your debt snowball rolling.

We recently purchased a soaker from Wahm-ie Pantie. We bought the Tweet print...how cute is that? It is a light pink fleece with a bird print. It has a lime green contrast waist band and for extra cuteness an eyelet ruffle right smack on her booty. The soaker is a medium and it fits her long and lean frame perfect. I haven't had her weighed recently, but I am guessing that she is between 15-16 pounds. I am a pocket gal, so I have never used a soaker before. Soakers are generally used as a cover with a fitted or a prefold. I am loving my soaker under summer dresses. My girls are heavy wetters, so I like putting them under my less absorbent pockets or AIOs (All-in-ones) thus making them more absorbent. Also, I love using them at night as a PJ bottom which makes my overnight diaper a touch more leak proof. The fleece is super soft and I love that it has easy machine washable care. In addition, it seems to be more breathable and more gentle on sensitive skin than pul. Wahm-ie Pantie is owned by a super sweet mom that can help you customize your Wahm-ie Pantie. I love supporting other fellow Mommies at home! She had super fast shipping which is awesome if you have a fluffy addition like mine! I will be giving a way a Wahm-ie Pantie as part of the Summer Cloth Diaper giveaway I am participating in from June 21-30. In the meantime, Wahm-ie Pantie is currently holding a sale.
